Fact 3 is Something We've All Been Slowly Realizing: If Florida beats Alabama, it's possible that the Gators will not pass Texas in the BCS. I posted about it last week, a few people have brought it up in the comments and 54b wrote a FanPost about it. Florida is way behind in the computers. A win over Alabama will certainly help, but who knows how much. If Florida and OU split the #1 human vote (so that each is effectively ranked 1.5, while Texas is ranked a solid number 3 (or a little bit higher by some who still have Texas above OU on their ballots)), then it's possible that Texas will retain enough of a computer advantage to lead Florida in the BCS. It's unlikely because I think Florida will make up enough ground in the computers to take the BCS lead, but it's not a given that Florida will be above Texas even if it beats Alabama.

This does come from a Texas blog, so, it might mean nothing. Still, given where Florida is at in the BCS and computers right now, it's something worth a look. Highly unlikely, but would be one of the more hilarious BCS scenario's thus far, especially because it involves the SEC.

I don't think I would mind seeing Texas v. Oklahoma v. 2. Compare this to Michigan/OSU from a couple of years ago, that game was the last one of the season for both teams, so it would be hard to make the argument that the loser of the contest would be a different team in a Bowl game. With Oklahoma passing Texas to play the Title game, it creates a much different situation.

I've been complaining about this for weeks now. The human voters decided weeks ago to give UF a shot by moving them up when they clearly didn't deserve it. I also love how Bama is #3 in the computers while one-loss Texas and one-loss OU are ahead of them. UF is behind Utah.

Tells ya something about the SEC this year...

Digesting the entire body of work, it will be close on who deserves it: UF or Texas. Current SOS has UF at #28 with Texas at #12.

If UF gets in with a weaker SOS according to Sagarin and most of the other outlets, it will mark only the 2nd time in the 11-year history of the BCS that a team who didn't have the best SOS in a host of 1-loss or 2-loss (LSU last year) hopefulls got in the title game.
